Multicultural education has been a major theme in instructional improvement discussions. Online learning can accelerate multicultural reforms through its ability to individualize every aspect of a student's educational experience, but only if cultural relevance is deliberately incorporated into online courses. We seek to answer: What can online programs learn from best practices in culturally responsive teaching, and how can I ensure engagement for all cultures in my online classroom?
